5. Let the light of Christ shine in our lives
Gather
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

6. Receive
After the Wise Men had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, ‘Out of Egypt I have called my son.’.
From the Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 2, verses

7. Engage
Mary, Joseph and Jesus were refugees. They had to flee from Israel to escape Herod’s persecution.

8. Engage Video suggestions … The escape to Egyptor
Short United Nations video about 2017
Some discussion ideas …
If you had to run from persecution and could only grab a small bag of belongings, what would you take and why?
Why do people have to become refugees?
Discussion techniques - Go back to the Bible passage ask “How does the theme link with the Bible passage?”
Discuss the question in pairs for 30 seconds then invite a response from each pair.
Use quick-fire answers e.g. throw a soft bean bag / toy to a student, when they answer they throw it back and you quickly throw to another student.
Simplify the question - Invite quick one-word answers, write them on the board, then reflect on the answers – see connections.
Activity suggestion … Make a world map – find out where in the world people are fleeing from – mark those places.

9. Respond Amen Lord Jesus, your parents were forced to flee
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Lord Jesus, your parents were forced to flee
from Herod’s murderous fear.
Have pity on those who flee their homes today.
Lord Jesus you travelled a dangerous road to Egypt.
Have mercy on those who travel on unsafe boats,
in the back of lorries, or with help of traffickers
because they can find no other way.
Lord hear our prayer for their safety
and let our cry come unto you.
Amen
Prayer / reflection technique – Give a summary of the theme and any responses that students may have made, then invite everyone to be still (remind no books open etc – lessen distraction). To pray or reflect on today’s worship. Be quiet for one minute. Then say the prayer …

10. Go out into the world with the light of Christ
Let us bless the Lord
Thanks be to God
Go out into the world with the light of Christ
